A young woman recently went kinda viral (ew) because she resented her life choices. Ohoowuuh. Newsflash. Apparently, she is 22 YO, the wife of a pastor, married virgin at 18, now with three kids — 3, 2, and 10 months — and another on the way. Basically was always a “good girl,” betrothed as a …

Post Doc in Debt
May have (or may be not have) mentioned somewheres around these parts that theKid is a straight A student. As in, all A’s. As in, nothing less than an A. As in, no B’s, C’s, D’s or heaven forfend! F’s. A big part of that (I believe) is that a child will meet the parents’ …
Banana Split
Saw a billboard recently, said “We All Need A Little Help Sometimes,” and I/we/me wondered why it’s so hard to ask for help, of any kind. Probably because needing help is typically a sign of weakness, of failure in some fundamental way. Guy drowned in Florida was asking for help, while the cops stood there …
Bloated and Swole
See, I wouldn’t have done that. The Notorious JBP got roasted off Twitter by the angry twits for highlighting a truth. Fat chicks are fat. Said he fat-shamed Yumi Nu (wait; her name is actually yummy?) Back up. See: slut-shamed. Yes a slut, but do not shame. Yes a fat, but again do not shame. …
Women: Can’t Live With ‘Em, Can’t Bury ‘Em Out Back
Might be a little late to this (surprisenot) but one of the favorite people I didn’t know died recently, reportedly of a massive heart attack, perhaps even in flagrante delicto … globulos exposite, as it (maybe) were. The really offensive yet wholly unsurprising aspect of his death was the reaction of so many of the …

Bulletsponge Babies
It may be time to simply admit that this is who, what, where, why, and how we are as a nation. Sacrificing children to the flames of Baal … gunfire, you see. {Jer. 32:35} I should start a crime scene cleaning company, call it Thoughts & Prayers, because that’s the extent of our commitment to …
Closing Time
“Woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck …” {Matt. 24:19; Mark 13:17; Luke 21:23} Need more proof these are the last days? How’s that formula shortage? Anyone? Anyone? Baby starving because Mom didn’t/can’t breastfeed, and now the artificial stuff is in short supply? Wow. I mean, wah-ha-ha-ow. Back in …
Money is Mechanics
Had a “no spend” month in April … went quite well, actually. God’s rule of “Don’t spend; if do, spend wisely” works for my/household expenses, but theKid is a whole ‘nother ball of expenditure. theKid needs “stuff,” and some of that stuff isn’t exactly a need but rather a little slice of joy in the …
Failure Complete?
Whelp, THAT didn’t work. Just got a summons and complaint for one of my monkeys, a particularly large one at that, and here I thought I was awaiting settlement terms. Well, hell. A problem, but not insurmountable. Settlement (ah-hem satisfaction) is still an option, likely just for more than originally hoped. Ah well. Half is …
Go Back Inside Please
To be perfectly, imperfect … I miss the pandemic. Not the disease, specifically, (‘cuz that ain’t going nowharz) but the restrictions. I really liked staying home, and so did the world. Like, the Earth planet. Did anybody else see how blue the sky actually is over Delhi, or Shanghai, or Los Angeles? No people, no …
